President Trump Addresses Alleged Chinese-Iranian Espionage Ahead of Meeting with President Xi Jinping
President Donald Trump responded to a report suggesting that Iran obtained satellite images of a base in Jordan from Chinese sources before an attack that resulted in the deaths of three US soldiers. The Wall Street Journal report, based on information from unnamed US officials, raised concerns about the incident in Jordan. When asked about addressing this issue with Chinese President Xi Jinping during an upcoming meeting, Trump acknowledged the surveillance activities of both China and the United States, emphasizing that such actions are reciprocal. The comparison between the spying practices of the two countries was made by Trump while speaking to reporters on Air Force One. The meeting between the Chinese and US presidents is anticipated to occur on September 24 in the United States, although China has not yet confirmed the meeting officially.
